Zero stretched out his hand to catch a thick vine, and then pulled it forward forcefully, letting his body swing forward naturally. Taking advantage of the momentum, he grabbed the other one, and moved quickly in the canyon like Tarzan of the ape.
Atesa's body was much more flexible than his in this aspect. Although she was still carrying Moni on her back, the black girl's moving body moved forward rapidly in a pendulum motion, and she actually opened a distance of nearly 100 meters from Zero.
The two of them had advanced half of the "distance" in the canyon in this way, but as time passed, Zero clearly felt the slightest cool breeze blowing through the canyon. The wind blew the Grim Reaper flower on the valley floor slightly, which was shocking to watch. Zero knew that the time for the wind to blow was getting closer, and he was slightly anxious in his heart.
The deeper the canyon, the fewer the vines. When Zero and the others first entered the valley, these thick vines were almost intertwined with each other, without any gaps. However, starting from the middle, the gap between the plants becomes wider and wider, and in some places there is even a gap of nearly three meters. As a result, it was naturally impossible to pass easily, and the two had to grab some hanging vines and then fly to the other side. As long as there is a mistake in one link, it will fall to the bottom and be with the flower of death, which really makes people raise their hearts to their throats.
Fortunately, this area was only about ten kilometers away. After the two passed by, the vines at the top of the canyon began to gather again, and the two immediately increased their speed greatly.
Zero thought that the density of vines should be related to the intensity of radiation in the canyon. In the middle of the canyon, Zero clearly felt that the radiation in the canyon had increased. Even with his physique, he still felt numb all over, which was a signal that the amount of radiation had reached a certain dangerous level. And the anti-radiation kit on Mo Ni's body turned on a dazzling red light, and it wasn't until after passing through that area that the kit's light was reduced to a relatively low yellow light.
Silently estimated the time, according to the speed of the two of them, there should be half an hour before they can leave the valley. Zero feels a sense of relief, moving forward in a pendulum motion like this is actually very exhausting. It's fine if it's normal, but now that Ling is recovering from his injury, he is not suitable for such strenuous exercise. Now he already felt all kinds of bad signals coming from all over his body. Although he suppressed these signals with his own will, Zero also knew that he couldn't hold on for long.
Beads of sweat had already wetted his forehead, and the hair that was fluttering was now sticking to his face wetly. The sterilized bandage on Zero's back was also wet with sweat, and there was still a trace of blush that melted away. It was because the too strenuous exercise caused his wounds that had healed to begin to crack again.
But now I can't stop, I can only keep going. Zero clenched his teeth, and continued to wave his nearly numb hands, speeding up his movement.
However, even Atesa thought that the three of them were about to leave the valley smoothly, but suddenly there was a violent shock in the direction of the entrance. The shock was quickly transmitted to the area where the two were located through the ground, and the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon also trembled slightly, causing the vines connecting the two mountain walls to sway endlessly. Not to mention moving forward, it became very strenuous for the two of them to even fix their bodies.
what happened
Zero clearly felt that a dangerous signal was coming from behind, but from his direction, because of the canyon's natural curved trend, he couldn't directly see what happened at the entrance of the canyon. But judging from Atesa's not-so-good face, the matter might not be simple.
Immediately afterwards, a strange cry came from afar.
It sounds like the whistle of a ship, and it sounds like the cry of some kind of animal, which makes Ling have a sense of deja vu. He quickly analyzed and compared this sound source with the countless data in the memory center in his brain, and concluded in less than a second that it turned out to be the sound of a whale. But the three of them are now on land, not in the sea, so how could there be the sound of a whale
Hearing the same voice, Atesa screamed: "No, it's the Filth Devourer!"
Zero was stunned.
I have seen zero records of this monster in the "Monster Notes" that Ben gave him, and I am very impressed. The reason for this is that this monster called the Filth Eater is one of the few mutant beasts with a huge body on the land.
The Devourer of Filth is like a blue whale living on land. The body of the Devourer at maturity is similar to that of an aircraft carrier, and even at its infancy it is as big as a hill. The Devourer resembles a whale in appearance, but its eyes have degenerated. Like whales, devourers can use sonic positioning to observe the outside world. This is a monster with elemental abilities like Fenli wolf, but it is different from Fenli wolf's ice and snow ability, and the devourer's ability is soil control.
It lives underground and feeds on nuclear waste and anything with a radioactive source. In the age of turmoil, for the Filth Eater, its food is almost everywhere. The Devourer can roam freely between the ground and the ground, thanks to its powerful ability to control the soil. Its body surface that is constantly flowing with sludge can release the wavelengths of the elements of the earth system, and can cause molecular-level changes to the hard ground. The moment the Devourer is unearthed, it can be softened into sand, so the earth becomes an ocean for the Devourer to swim in.
But the bigger the monster, the worse its ability to reproduce. The balance of the gods always maintains a relative balance, otherwise, if there were a large number of such monsters, they would have become the masters of the earth long ago.
Zero didn't expect that there would be a Filth Devourer here in the Death Canyon, and the reason why this monster appeared here, needless to say, it must be aimed at the ubiquitous Death Flower in the Death Canyon. The Death Flower, which is fatal to most creatures, is the most delicious food in the eyes of the Devourer. It is precisely because of this that this cetacean-shaped monster is dubbed the Filth Devourer. In a sense, they are actually beneficial creatures, after all, they play the role of land scavengers.
It's just that when the Filth Devourer eats, he doesn't specifically distinguish the type of food. For them, Zero Three is not a staple food, but if they accidentally swallowed them together, the Devourer will not spit them out again on purpose.
So after that whale-like cry, the ground trembled, and a rumbling sound like a bulldozer came from the entrance of the canyon. But in the blink of an eye, Zero could already see a hill-like sound pushing towards them at the end of his sight.
This is a juvenile Devourer, but its volume almost occupies the cross section of the canyon. The Filth Devourer opened its mouth wide, its body half-submerged on the ground and constantly pushing forward, plowing like a bulldozer. The ubiquitous Grim Reaper flower and large pieces of sand were dug into the Devourer's mouth, and went straight to the stomach. Looking at the situation, it doesn't mind eating Lingsan together.
Atesa yelled: "Go quickly, once the Devourer eats, it won't stop until it clears the entire canyon of the Grim Reaper Flower!"
